THE NEW MELBOURNE ART CLUB

Prints and Drawings

Prints and drawings by six members of the New Melbourne Art Club are being shown at the Kozmlnsky galleries.

The printed materials of Lucy Newell are a strong feature of the exhibition, and some very effective fabric designs have been evolved. Blue lyre birds on white cotton make one of the most striking designs, arid gum leaves on satin form a quieter and more subtle pattern. Sybil Craig shows two sensitive pastel portraits and some water colors, of which Cabbages -is a freely painted and spontaneous impression.

Anne Montgomery's two drawings of Magnolias are delicately painted in her decorative manner. Jean Mackintosh makes some of her effective de signs out of the bulky figures of washerwomen at work. Helen Ogllvie, in her lino-cut The White Barn, has achieved an unusually good result, very effective in design and color. Len- Annois. displays his ability to draw in the Demolition of the Old Bijou Theatre, Duke and Orr's Dry Dock and The Flinders-street Artery.
